Sympatico Hardside Domestic Spinner Luggage, Plum, 22-Inch Carry-On

Looked at Rimowa and picked this due to 70/30 split compartment unavailable in both Rimowas and Tumi.. no regrets.. well made smooth wheels good use of interior space.

I’ve never had hard luggage before. I heard about this brand and was looking to upgrade my Victorinox luggage due to some issues. At first I thought, this is not going to fit everything but to my amazement, it not only fit everything but then some, and it was nice and organized. I didn’t feel like I was shoving stuff in! Having another side (front side of luggage) was like having another piece of luggage. I have a spine injury so it’s hard to move and get things from Point A to Point B, but this moved like it was gliding across the pavement and airport!!! I’m so happy with this luggage!!! To make it even better it came in this beautiful plum color.

Penny wise pound foolish. Just spend a little more to get High grade quality. Love this luggage, rolls effortlessly!

So I finally decided to splurge on a Briggs and Riley (that warramty), after tossing money at cheap luggage for 30 years...I originally bought the Baseline soft sided with the matching duffle; LOVED the color (olive and tan) and the duffel was SO spacious. BUT, I returned both after packing the carryon suitcase for a 3 week trip to Italy. Why? Because it tips over once packed. Its all about the wheel positioning....if you open the Baseline and lay it flat to pack you see it has all 4 wheels on one side of the bag. So once you close the 2 sides, the weight from the section without wheels causes it to tip forward. Doesnt matter if you pack the heavy items on the bottom...I tried four times! So I returned and reluctantly bought this hard sided version (I wanted soft sided as I own a set of cheaper Italian hard side luggage) because as you see, 2 wheels are in one side of the bag and 2 on the other, offering a perfect balance once packed. Oddly the back wheels are larger than the front, sont know why but doesnt affect the way it rolls or stands up. The compression function is amazing! Ive been traveling 3 weeks now in Italy with this suitcase and a backpack (Im 5w yrs young) and it has help up spectacularly on cobble stone streets and firs as a carryon in all planes so far. Its easy to lift into the trains with handles conveniently placed. the extender handle goes pretty high so tall people will love it; you can adjust it lower as well (which I do since Im only 55). The color is beautiful and I dont see one scratch on it.

I travel a lot. Ive worn out a couple of Samsonite suitcases of similar size and value. So far, this suitcase is more durable, scratch resistant, and mobile. I am very happy with the locks, zippers, and storage compartments. The inside design is smart and functional. I am completely satisfied.

This is the first piece of hard-sided luggage Ive had in quite a while. After some negative handling experiences with soft-sided bags, Ive decided a hard-sider is a necessity for air travel. I was a bit shocked when this arrived, as its completely enormous. Big enough for both my husband and I for an entire weeklong vacation, I think.

Its zipper broke after one round trip. Also, when its CX compression system makes weird noises like its springs are rusted. Also, Manoeuvrability on full load is not that great, it doesnt remain in straight line when moving.

This Briggs & Riley Sympatico line of hardside luggage is very sturdy and not too heavy. I like knowing that I wont be needing to buy new luggage every few years. Briggs & Riley have unconditional lifetime guarantee and you dont need to keep a record of the original receipt. Id rather shop for quality luggage once rather than buying new luggage every few years when the wheels or handles fail.

I travel extensively and have used Briggs and Riley luggage for years now. The quality and durability of their baseline series is unmatched and all of my pieces have held up to whatever the airlines and my travel throw at them. Ive never had a hardside piece before but its clear that B&R used the same features and quality from the baseline series in this line as well. Luggage is very lightweight for its size, wheels glide flawlessly, handle is firm and secure, double zipper locks insure security and the expansion feature guarantees you will be able to take home those extra things you bought while on vacation. Love this and will buy another!

I bought as a replacement for an aging TravelPro carry on, and I could not be happier with my decision. The built-in compression system is almost magical, and really makes a difference in how much you can pack. While my travel typically involves 3-4 day business trips, I was able to pack for a week-long family vacation without issue. The bag is light but sturdy with high-quality construction. The wheels rolled exceptionally smoothly, and the variable handle heights were comfortable at multiple levels. While I dont anticipate having to do so any time soon, I will absolutely buy another Briggs & Riley when the time comes.
